5.Transfer the dough to a well-floured surface and knead the dough by hand for about 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Shape the dough into a ball and cover with a dampened kitchen towel. Let the dough rest at room temperature for 1 hour.

6.Meanwhile, line the baking pan with a piece of parchment and take pork out of the refrigerator. Lay a large piece of wax paper on the counter where you will be filling the buns.

7.Lightly flour the work surface and roll the dough into a log, about 16 inches long. Cut the log into 16 equal pieces, about 2 ounces each.

8.Working with one piece of dough at a time and keeping the rest covered with the damp towel, roll each piece of dough into a very flat round, about 4 to 5 inches in diameter. Fill each dough in the center with 2 heaping tablespoons of the shredded pork. It may seem like a lot but the dough will stretch as you pull it around the filling. Gather the dough up and around the filling by pleating along the edges. Pinch the pleats together, making a little neck on the bun, and twist firmly to seal.

9.Put the bun on the wax paper and cover with another damp towel. Repeat with remaining dough and filling until all buns have been made.

10.Put half of the buns on the baking tray, keeping the remaining 8 covered. Put the tray in the oven with the rack in the middle rack position and set to Steam at 210 °F for 30 minutes, until dough is cooked through.

Remove the buns and re-line the tray with new parchment and repeat with remaining buns.

11.Serve immediately.
